The photographer reserves the right to cancel or reschedule the session at any time due to unforeseen circumstances, with a full refund to the client if the photographer is unable to attend. The photographer is not liable for any additional costs incurred by the client, such as travel fees or other expenses."

5. Image Delivery "Edited images will usually be delivered to the client sooner, but no later than four weeks after the session, via an online gallery, unless unforeseen circumstances arise."

6. Usage Rights "The client is granted personal and commercial use rights for the delivered images.

The client is responsible for ensuring that all individuals involved in the shoot have read and agreed to these terms. By agreeing to this contract, the client confirms that they have obtained such agreement from all individuals being photographed. The photographer cannot be held responsible if the client fails to obtain agreement from others being photographed; this responsibility lies solely with the client."

Notes for your portraits:
- drink plenty of water the day before but don't worry - skin issues can be edited
- wear a plain dark top without too many patterns
- bring a change of top if you like a second look! The shoot is outside in public under natural light so something like a top & jacket is ideal to give you 2 'looks'
- My locations are covered from the rain, but we can always reschedule if it rains!
- Most of my shoots are in London at places I've found best results- location will be sent by email after booking.
- Most imporantly- relax & enjoy yourself! You'll look great :)
